Oppo, the smartphone manufacturer from China, are about to grow from strength to strength, what with the leak of an upcoming device of which we do not know much about.

Virtually nothing at all, really, other than the fact that leaked images of it do seem to point to an extremely slim bezel.

While it might be a cool element in terms of design, this illusion might not be too good for the users in the long run where usability is concerned, since a lack of bezels at the side will translate to the fact that there is no place for one to rest one’s fingers or palms when not touching the display.

It looks like the race for the worlds slimmest smartphone is not quite over just yet – as the folks over at China-based Oppo have stepped up to the plate and wrested this particular title away from Gionee.Their latest offering, the Oppo R5, happens to be the first smartphone in the world that breaks the sub-5mm barrier when it comes to the chassis thickness.It will feature a 5.2” AMOLED display that carries a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, which means it has a pixel density that is on part with that of the flagship Sony Xperia Z3 at 423ppi.

If you've been following the news lately, then you know Oppo is about to announce its next flagship smartphone, the Oppo N3, on October 29.The latest teaser, published by one of the company's social media accounts, brings an interesting new twist to the scheme.Peeking from behind the curtain, to the right of the Oppo N3, which you'll recognize by its rotating camera, stands an all-new, never before heard of phone.

Oppo has announced its Oppo Neo 5 - a budget-friendly LTE device for the Malaysian market.It’s set to launch in the region next week for RM598 (almost $189).There’s a 4.5-inch display sporting a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels with a 218ppi pixel density, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.2GHz and 1GB of RAM.Other features include 5MP camera on the back for photos and videos as well as a 2MP front-facing camera, a 1,900 mAh battery, and runs Android 4.

Oppo keeps launching low-cost devices for the world’s emerging markets, one of such devices has been recently unveiled in Malaysia.Oppo Yoyo was made for folks who don’t want to pay a premium for the latest bells and whistles they won’t be using anyway.The device comes with a 4.7-inch qHD touchscreen (540 x 960 pixels) that works even with gloves on, MediaTek’s low-end MT6582M quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 1,900 mAh battery.

Oppo has a reputation for clever smartphones, but there's a good reason why you rarely see its devices in the US: it hasn't had local LTE data until the Find 7.Anyway, we found a version of the R1 with US-capable LTE, fresh from FCC approval. The high-style, low-cost phone can now handle 4G data on T-Mobile and, to a limited extent, AT&T. It should also run quickly on Canadian providers.Given the lack of network branding, it's more likely to be sold in unlocked form to fans of the R1's looks and extra-bright f/2.

Oppo will soon start accepting pre-orders for its newly unveiled Find 7 smartphone. The full HD version (Find 7a) will be available first, followed by the better, 2K model later in the year.Starting April 7th, the Chinese firm will open the floodgates and start accepting pre-orders from all around the globe. The Oppo Style website doesn’t say a thing about the price, but as far as we know – the Find 7 will be more affordable than Samsung’s Galaxy S5 and HTC’s All New One.

Thanks to gizmobic.com we know how the soon-to-be-launched Oppo Find 7 will look like.Once launched – the Find 7 will be one of the best phones on the planet, rocking an amazing camera, full HD or QHD screen (two versions will be available), Snapdragon 800 or 801 quad-core chip, 2GB of RAM, a ton of built-in storage, and so on and on.
